Description

This distinguished former public building, dating back to the 15th century, has evolved through extensive alterations over the course of six centuries. Now, it commands a prominent position at the end of the high street, offering convenient access to local amenities, transport links, and picturesque open countryside.

The original open-plan ground floor and its strategic location, facing the historic road to London, suggest it may have been constructed as a market hall for the Abbot of Westminster, later converted to residential use after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

Upon entering, you are greeted by an impressive reception hall featuring an elegant "L"-shaped staircase. To either side, two formal reception rooms offer both grandeur and charm. The drawing room and dining room, each of a similar size, are enhanced by fireplaces and bay windows that capture the Westerly light from the front. The drawing room also boasts a large rear-facing window that overlooks the garden, along with a period corner cabinet that adds a touch of character.

The kitchen/dining room is located at the rear of the property and features a vaulted ceiling, adding a sense of space and openness. There is also a large cellar under the kitchen which can be accessed via a hatch. An original Adams fireplace, which adjoins the one in the dining room, presents the potential to be reopened and fitted with a wood-burning stove. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient cloakroom and access to a back door, leading to a covered veranda perfect for outdoor enjoyment.

The first floor accommodates two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The principal bedroom has direct access to the family bathroom, which further leads to a dressing room via a set of steps. An additional landing area provides flexibility as a study or occasional bedroom.

On the second floor, the accommodation continues with two further double bedrooms and a practical shower room.

At the rear of the property, accessible via a shared driveway, is a gated parking area leading to a cart lodge with covered parking for two vehicles. Additionally, a useful outbuilding, currently used as a studio and storage space, is attached to the cart lodge.

This exceptional residence perfectly blends historical significance with modern-day convenience, offering a unique opportunity to acquire a truly special home.
